Some embodiments provide a method for connecting a client of a first network to a service of a second network. The method includes registering the service of the second network. The method then receives, from a client of the first network, a request to communicate with the service, the client not having an address of the service. The method further assigns an IP address to the service and sends the IP address to the client. Additionally, the method sends, to an inter-network hub that connects the first network and the second network, a message in order for the inter-network hub to establish a first tunnel between the inter-network hub and a first gateway associated with the client and a second tunnel between the inter-network hub and a second gateway associated with the service.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the message is a first message, wherein the inter-network hub sends the first gateway a second message that configures the first gateway to route traffic received from the client and addressed to the IP address of the service to the inter-network hub for communication to the service.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the first network is a on-premises network and wherein the second network is a virtual private cloud (VPC).
6. The method of claim 1, wherein the first network includes the computing device.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein the first network includes the first gateway and wherein the second network includes the second gateway.
9. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 8, wherein the message is a first message, wherein the inter-network hub sends the first gateway a second message that configures the first gateway to route traffic received from the client and addressed to the IP address of the service to the inter-network hub for communication to the service.
12. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 8, wherein the first network is a on-premises network and wherein the second network is a virtual private cloud (VPC).
13. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 8, wherein the first network includes the computing device.
14. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 8, wherein the first network includes the first gateway and wherein the second network includes the second gateway.
16. The system of claim 15, wherein the message is a first message, wherein the inter-network hub sends the first gateway a second message that configures the first gateway to route traffic received from the client and addressed to the IP address of the service to the inter-network hub for communication to the service.
19. The system of claim 15, wherein the first network is a on-premises network and wherein the second network is a virtual private cloud (VPC).
20. The system of claim 15, wherein the first network includes the system and the first gateway and the second network includes the second gateway.
